Bob Kamburov Chapter 6 Outline I. Population Dynamics and Carrying Capacity * Populations change in size‚ density‚ and age distribution; most members of populations live together in clumps or groups. * Three general patterns in a habitat: clumping‚ uniform distribution‚ and random dispersion. Most live in clumps or groups. * Availability of resources varies from place to place. * Living in groups offers better protection from predators. * Some predator

Scholars point out that it was not a single‚ dramatic event – the decline of the Empire took place over around 300 years.

Some is caused by a combination of human and natural factors like wildfires and subsequent overgrazing‚ which may prevent the growth of young trees. Deforestation and forest degradation can cause biodiversity to decline. When forest cover is removed‚ wildlife is deprived of habitat and becomes more vulnerable to hunting. Considering that about 80%
